Hector is the last character to be introduced for this storyline, so all the pieces are in place now to lead toward the thrilling conclusion! (Not to worry, tho; there’s still lots of ground to cover. I’m not exactly sure, but I figure we’ve passed the half way point.)

Hold the coffee, indeed! Good strip, Dale. It looks like things are turning around for Emmett…at least for now. Maybe there’s trouble brewin’ Speaking of which, I wonder how Watusi’s doing. Congrats on the first year! It’s been fun.
